Act as a visionary novelist with expertise in magical realism and psychological depth. Craft a story about a protagonist who gains the unsettling ability to see glimpses of the future, but only through the cracks in the earth—whether in sidewalks, dried riverbeds, or earthquake fissures. The visions are fragmented and cryptic, forcing the protagonist to interpret them like a puzzle. Explore themes of fate, free will, and the weight of foreknowledge. Include [THREE KEY VISIONS] that drive the plot, [A PERSONAL SACRIFICE] the protagonist must make to harness their power, and [A TWIST] that redefines the true nature of their gift. The tone should be eerie yet poetic, blending the mundane with the supernatural.
